I had an ice cream. The ice cream is from a local supplier, and I had cherry.

There is also a little part of the garden with different decorated butterflies called "Garden of Hope", and it symbolises lives lost to difficulties in mental health.

I had a wander around the walled garden, which was very quiet during my morning visit.

I visited at the end of July, and the apples were ripening on the trees.

This house, situated in the middle of Grantham, is special as it provides a green space to relax and enjoy with the community.
